The Sky Bet Club

edited October 2014 in Betting Chat
Just received an email from Sky asking me to join the new Sky Bet Club:

''As part of the Sky Bet Club you can opt in to receive weekly free bets. Simply stake £25 in a week at odds of evens or higher and on Monday you’ll receive a £5 free bet! 

To continue earning free bets each week, just make sure you stake at least £25 at odds of evens or more. If you miss a week, you can get back in to the offer by staking £40.''

I think this a very poor offer given the fact you have to stake £25 for the sake of a measley £5 free bet, it's just not worth it and i'll be changing my bookmaker in time for the new football season.
Thoughts on the scheme?

    Yeah I'm pretty annoyed with this scheme myself. Last year I was happy to stake £5 per week and it actually got me betting on plenty other stuff throughout the site that i normally wouldn't have done. Now we have to bet £100 per month, erm no thanks.
    Oh well, Sky just lost itself another cutomer.

    I am obviously in the minority because I think this promo is far better.The last one favoured those who bet little,this one those who bet more.The poker site rewards those who spend the most(and rightly so)so why should the betting side be any different?Some promos suit different people,this one suits me the last suited you.Swings and roundabouts.

    There is variables in gambling horses football etc ie bog and sp.
    Oddschecker usually have sky low with multiples and singles.
    Very rarely odds will drift with fancied horses.
    I have £50 free next week and 2 out 3 horses that got gambled and 3 ((1 drifted)won which I bet on sky today BOG

    I completely agree, you are in the minority because most people who use the site have an occassional small flutter... the idea of betting up to £100 per month to some people would seem crazy.

    I'm with you joe
    Why would I bet 30/50 quid to get a £5 free bet a week my my daily bet is about 150 so this new offer of spending £250 in a week and get a £50 free bet is so much better for me but to get a free bet u guys need to spend £25 so that's basically less than £5 per day come on guys just say cheers sky 
    As to be fair to them there are worse offers with other bookies

    Im surprised skybet even have customers.

    By far the worst odds in the business by a country and hardly any markets at all outside of the premier league

    wouldn't use skybet if they offered me free money

    Well don't use them then poker donk lol
    To be fair I've used a lot of bookies over the yrs and I think although limited sky is not that bad yes there offers are not great but they are not the worst customer services again could be better but def not the worst and as of odds go to odds checker in morning they are normally there or there a bouts the best but very quick to cut odds so u gotta be quick :-)

    They are dreadful


    My acca on saturday was 79/1 on here but was 113/1, 121/1 and 136/1 elsewhere (£570 diff for a tenner) 


    I always put my accas in oddschecker before I bet to see where  the best value is and skybet are NEVER EVER in the top 10

    EVER!

    In response to a previous poster, Sky Bet's odds have actually improved as of late... however, this is not the issue.

    And you have proof of this?
    Most people only play poker for fun do they not?Does this mean they should get the same rake back as those who grind and pay more rake?NO!!!!
    Your op is purely what affects YOU that's all,as I said b4 some promos suit some people better than others.
